Romania's Minister of Foreign Affairs Oana Toiu has expressed support for the advancement of the accession of Moldova and Ukraine to the European Union, during a meeting of foreign ministers from EU member states held in Brussels.

The official welcomed “the adoption, at Romania's initiative, of ten new listings within the EU's regime of restrictive measures, given the destabilizing actions in Moldova, as well as two new listings in the regime of restrictive measures, considering Russia's destabilizing actions abroad, with the individuals and entities concerned being subject to travel bans and asset freezes.”

At the same time, Minister Toiu emphasized “the importance of continuing the support of EU and member states and reiterated the backing for advancing the EU accession process.”
